What about a place for a newbie noob, level 0 or below! Thats me, Canbyte. I have other technical training, can write and being a bit pedantic, can think like a non geek. One problem as i see it is that good info is piecemeal, all over the place, getting access to it can be confusing and time consuming. So far i've spent 2 months on this go-round trying to get puppy working, plus a previous effort similarly unsuccessful. I hope i don't have to give up this time but until i get my oki printer working and either a usb drive or a lan share with a win98 box working, the project can only be considered experimental, subject to disillusionment/ abandonment. I need a system, not a Puppy box.

I've been reading till my eyes bleed - kind respondents' replies, the wiki, fora here and elsewhere, the manual, etc. While Puppy is a great box to use, this is not how i want to live my life. Volunteering to organize the info would be a far more satisfying use of my time. Although there is some benefit going through some pain to understand MY problem, it really doesn't do anything for Puppy. So lets make a deal. Somebody, get my @#$%^& system working, as Ecomoney is doing, I'll work endlessly on presenting / reorganizing info so non geeky newbies can get going or solve problems quickly, much as jhecht described. [I once saw a page that had topics that that the reader could expand as needed to show /print more detail.]

Often you can see my post with new .pet package. I love to create packages for puppy. Working in a Tech company, so I'm not able to spend my fulltime on puppy.Last edited by mohan34u on Fri 01 May 2009, 04:51; edited 1 time in total

i have made some .pups, a few .pets, and one sfs (kde 3.5.9 full suite with qt 3.3.8 , now i'm working on kde4), i know a little bash script, assembler, fortran, basic, html, css, python and now i'm learning, php, and genie/vala, i'm also working on a wine derivate (like cedega, but writen in genie/vala), i have made some small linux distros with T2 and puppy unleashed core also some puppy derivates with kde and other fancy stuffs, i'm good at making things on the gimp (not pro but i can make a wallpaper...xD) and that's all with my "inner geek", in my other side i have introducied puppy to my friends/family, and teached them howto intall/use it, etc, in the university i was able to get the permission to set up 10 puppylinux machines (we have like 120~130 "Linux only" systems in the campus), and i'm always trying to get more people to use puppy here where i live.

I'm a electronics technician (Fernando Santiván technical high school,), and i'm now in second year of physical sciences and astronomy (i'm not sure if is called like that on english, maybe is more like theoretical physics or something) at the Concepción University, Chile

I know BASIC and some C++ and I am teaching myself how to use the Linux CLI. I have done a few remasters and am working on a few more. i have never made and .pets or anything, but a few icon packs that I posted on the forum. I spend a lot of time helping puppians with problems they may have on the support channel.

Look at my profile and there are many ways to get a hold of me. I'm happy to help in any way._________________Instead of looking out Windows, I'm playing with my Puppy.
